Got some chocolate cravings but looking for something that’s healthier? Make some of this amazing Paleo Chocolate Mug Cake, it only looks sinful! This single serving cake is vegan and so easy to make

This Paleo Chocolate Mug Cake is calling your name! Nope, it’s not too good to be true, it really is vegan and paleo. Another name I had for this cake was Heavenly Devil Cake, which might sound like an oxymoron, but it is the perfect name for this cake!

Let me explain: this baby cake is kinda dangerous (= devilish) because you can make your cake and eat in in less than 10 minutes. In the baking world, that’s super-speed!

But, it is heavenly because it is healthy, allergy-friendly, and tasty. It has no added sugar or oil and boasts 5 grams of vegan protein (!) and 12 g fiber (!!) without adding protein powder. And it doesn’t taste like cardboard. In the health food world, that’s pretty impressive.

Hmm…I suppose you could even eat this for breakfast. Way better than cardboard-textured cereal for your first meal of the day!

This little cake is perfect when you are having chocolate or sweet cravings but don’t have the time to bake an entire cake. I topped mine with some fruit-only cherry jam to create that nice chocolate-dipped cherry flavor. Because of the fiber and protein from the coconut flour, this makes a very filling snack too.

I had to make this cake several times before I finally hit on the right combination of ingredients. If you want a fudgier cake, you can decrease the coconut flour slightly (like by 1/2 teaspoon). I got the best results using a very fine ground coconut flour from Aloha-Nu, but it should work with course ground coconut flour, the texture just won’t be quite as nice.

Hi Cindy, you should be able to bake this fine in the oven. I would bake it at 350 degrees for maybe 5-10 minutes. I haven’t made this in the oven, so you will have to watch it closely to find the time that works. You could also try this in a toaster oven, too. Let me know how it works out for you!

I love individual desserts! This version of a a quick mug cake looks awesome and I LOVE the size it makes…I made a mug cake recipe last week and I swear it would have fed 4 easily!!! Can’t wait to try this one.
